The Supreme Court ruling in McCutcheon v. FEC eliminates limits on aggregate political contributions, allowing individuals to contribute unlimited amounts to candidates and parties, while maintaining individual contribution limits. This decision is seen as a positive shift for local and state politics, which have historically been hindered by restrictive campaign finance laws. The ruling emphasizes the importance of transparency in political donations, suggesting that voters are less influenced by money than by candidates' public actions and beliefs.
